You have heard of Princess Leia in the golden bikini. Now get ready for #VENUS in a golden bikini! Homegirl is putting on her golden sandals, aided by her son #Eros. She is using a statue of #Priapus with a gilded erection to lean on.
I have long wondered about the body shapes of prehistoric finds like the #Venus of #Willendorf. From today's perspective, I would assume that there were actually no obese people in the #IceAge. But since the figures are very close to life, there must have been really fat people at that time. Surely others have also thought about it. What are some thoughts about this? How can it be that Ice Age people knew obese body shapes so well?
